My eldest cat, Idgie died today. She was 12.
She had several cancers, including lung cancer. She was diagnosed last Wednesday, but got progressively worse until she could hardly walk, wasn’t eating or drinking. She was also starting to gasp for breath. Not a good thing.
The vet said that she would only get worse and suffer, so I asked for her to be put to sleep.
I’m having her cremated and I’ll be collecting the ashes next week.
There are more pictures of her and some of her friends here
